# Pattern The _Pattern tools_ (in the [PlanView](../plan_view/plan_view.md) _Plan Tools_) allow you to specify complex flight patterns using a simple graphical UI. The available pattern tools depend on the vehicle (and support for the vehicle-type in the flight stack). ![Pattern Tool (Plan Tools)](../../../assets/plan/pattern/pattern_tool.jpg) | Pattern | Description | Vehicles | | --------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | | [Survey](../plan_view/pattern_survey.md) | Create a grid flight pattern over a polygonal area.
You can specify the polygon as well as the specifications for the grid and camera settings appropriate for creating geotagged images. | All | | [Structure Scan](../plan_view/pattern_structure_scan_v2.md) | Create a grid flight pattern that captures images over vertical surfaces (polygonal or circular).
These are typically used for the visual inspection or creation of 3D models of structures. | MultiCopter, VTOL | | [Corridor Scan](../plan_view/pattern_corridor_scan.md) | Create a flight pattern which follows a poly-line (for example, to survey a road). | All | | [Fixed Wing Landing](../plan_view/pattern_fixed_wing_landing.md) | Add a landing pattern for fixed wing vehicles to a mission. | Fixed Wing |
